Images in Media Library

This guide describes the image editing tools available in the Media library.

While these image editing tools are free, the site must be set to public for the tools to work. These image editing tools are not available with a site set to private.

  1. Go to My Sites → Media
  2. Select the image, then click Edit.

Crop an Image

You can remove an unwanted portion of an image you have uploaded to your Media Library by using the cropping feature.

First, click and drag the cropping overlay to select the area you want. You can also select Crop and then choose a specific aspect ratio to crop automatically.

Save an Edited Image

When you’re happy with your edits to the image, click Done. If you wish to start from scratch with that image, click Reset. You may also close the image editor without saving by clicking on Cancel.

Revert an Image

If you want to revert the changes you’ve made, you have the ability to cancel your edits on an image and revert to the original version that you first uploaded to your Media Library.

If you’re sure you would like to restore an image, click on the image in the media library, select Edit, then choose the Restore Original button. The image will then revert back to its original form.
